NEW INSTALLATION WIRING
WARNING: Turn power off at fuse or
circuit breaker before installing
transformer. Follow all national and
local codes.
1. Mount Transformer: Transformers
should be mounted on or near a
junction box. They can also be
mounted to the electrical service
panels. Junction boxes in utility
rooms, crawl spaces, or basements
are preferred. Avoid attic locations.
2. Install 16 Volt, 10 Watt transformer
according to the instructions supplied
with transformer.
Note:
For multiple
mechanical chimes, use a 16 Volt,
15 Watt transformer. Failure to use
a transformer with adequate power
will result in loss of sound or may re-
sult in the system being inoperative.
3. Run two No. 20 AWG or better bell
wires (Heath
®
/Zenith No. 196C or No.
199C accessory wire) to the chime
location. Strip away 1/2" of insulation
from end of wires. Connect each wire
to transformer (see Figure 1).
4. Label Transformer Wires: Using masking tape or wire tags provided on packaging, label one
wire “T” and the other “C”.

Note: For multiple mechanical chimes, use a 16 Volt, 15 Watt transformer.
HELPFUL HINTS
Electrical work must be in accordance with national and local electrical codes. If in doubt,
consult a qualified electrician. Turn power off at fuse or circuit breaker before installing/
replacing transformer.
•Many chimes, bells, and buzzers are installed with a 10 Volt, 5 Watt transformer. This chime
requires a minimum 16 Volt, 10 Watt transformer.
For replacement installation, identify and tag wires before removing them according to terminal
markings: “F”-Front Push Button, “R”-Rear Push Button, and “T”-Transformer.
For new installations install #20 AWG bell wire in pairs from push button(s) and transformer to
chime. Do not pinch wire or damage its insulation. Heath
®
/Zenith accessory wire (No. 196C or
No. 199C) is available for chime installations.
Clean wood, plastic, and metal parts with mild soap and warm water. Never use cleaners or
polishes. Never use any fluids on the mechanical chime mechanism.
5. Mount push button(s) to door frame(s). Run two No. 20 AWG bell wires from push button(s) to
the chime location. Strip away 1/2" of insulation from end of wires. Connect each wire to push
button(s) (see Figure 1).
Label Front Push Button Wires: Using masking tape or wire tags provided on packaging, label
one wire “F” and the other “C”.
Label Rear Push Button Wires: Using masking tape or wire tags provided on packaging, label
one wire “R” and the other “C”.
6. At the chime, pull all wires through wall cavity and out through a 1/2" hole in the wall board.
Route wires through wire entrance hole(s).
7. Mount chime base to wall using screws provided.
8. Strip away 1/2" of insulation from end of wires. Connect wire “F” to the screw terminal marked
“FRONT”. Connect wire “T” to screw terminal marked “TRANS”. Connect wire “R” to screw ter-
minal marked “REAR” (see Figure 1).

TROUBLESHOOTING
Chime does not sound:
Check Chime: Disconnect wire from terminal marked “TRANS”. Have someone operate push
button at front door while you momentarily touch the “TRANS” wire to terminal marked “FRONT”.
You will see a small spark if push button, wiring, and transformer are operating properly. Repeat
the steps for “REAR” terminal and rear push button. If wiring between transformer and push
button(s) check out properly, replace chime.
Check Transformer: Momentarily touch the two low-voltage terminals with a screwdriver. You will
see a small spark if transformer is operating properly. If no spark is evident, replace transformer.
Check Push Button(s): Remove suspected unit from door frame, disconnect wire from terminals
and touch bare wires together. If chime operates, push button is defective. Replace push button.
